Portland School

Portland cater for approximately 150 students between the ages of 11 and 19 who experience severe learning difficulties and profound, multiple and complex medical needs. A growing number of our pupils have an Autisitc spectrum condition. Portland offers co-educational day provision to pupils from a catchment area which covers the city of Sunderland and beyond.

iHUS worked with the school to design the redevelopment and improvement of the toilet and bathing facilities provided for the students.

Just a quick one to let you know that myself and my staff are over the moon with the new hygiene suite that your company have installed for us in our sensory department. The room is fit for purpose now and is a modern, clean, comfortable environment for all who use it. I would like to add your work force are outstanding; keeping the project area clean and safe at all times. Myself and my site team look forward to working with you and your staff in the future.
